Margot Fonteyn and dancer Michael Somes, leaving Onassis' yacht Christina. Monte Carlo 1956.

A smiling Margot Fonteyn, elegantly dressed in a voluminous dark coat and white gloves, is the focus as she and fellow dancer Michael Somes leave Aristotle Onassis' yacht *Christina* in Monte Carlo, 1956. Somes, in a tuxedo, looks on as Fonteyn walks forward on the wooden deck. The nighttime scene is illuminated by a direct flash, creating high contrast and highlighting a vintage rotary telephone visible in the background.
